Head out at night with professional nature and night-sky photographer Mike Cavaroc to build your skills shooting the Milky Way Galaxy and moonlit landscapes. You’ll focus on what’s most prominent that night and learn settings you can reuse on future shoots.
If Wyoming Stargazing cancels due to weather, there is no charge (except a 6% nonrefundable online booking fee if you booked yourself online). Cancel within 48 hours of the scheduled start time and you will be charged the full amount. Cancel or rebook after booking and pay a 5% administration fee.

You’ll get a confirmed pickup time on the day of your program. Pickup typically falls between 7:00pm and 9:30pm depending on the season and your pickup location.
Dress for cold nighttime temperatures. In summer, temperatures can drop below 40°F, so wear long pants, a warm jacket, closed-toe shoes with thick socks, and a hat. In winter, dress like you’re going skiing on a very cold day.
Bring your own gear if you can. Your guide brings equipment and can supply an extra tripod if needed. If you bring a DSLR camera, make sure it can take long exposures (25 seconds or longer).
Grand Teton National Park
The guides here are the real draw. From astrophysicists like Ben, Mani, and Eons to enthusiastic educators like Sara, Lily, and Andy, the team consistently earns praise for making complex astronomy accessible and genuinely engaging. Reviewers highlight how guides field every question thoughtfully, adapt explanations for all ages, and keep the group comfortable through cold Wyoming nights with blankets, hand warmers, and warm-up breaks. Logistics are smooth and guest-focused. The company proactively reaches out when weather looks unfavorable, offering rebooking at no extra cost, and handles pickup, drop-off, and equipment without fuss. There's also a free weekly public session at Rendezvous Park for those who want a taste before committing to a private tour. Families, couples, and photography enthusiasts all seem to leave equally satisfied, which says a lot about the range of what's offered.
Sara and Kyle were amazing! They’re both incredibly knowledgeable about the stars, it was an incredible experience. Highly recommend!
